"Working to provide a safe and secure environment for our citizens through courteous quality and professional service."
 

MISSION STATEMENT
 

It is the mission of the Swansboro Police Department to serve all people within the Town's jurisdiction with respect, fairness, and compassion.  We are committed to the protection of life and property, the preservation of peace, order and safety, and the vigorous enforcement of local, state, and federal laws.  We are committed to serving our community to enhance the quality of life and to nurture public trust by holding ourselves to the highest standards of performance and ethics.  Our officers are determined to serve as a deterrent to crime, develop relationships with community groups, residential and business organizations, and to promote an environment receptive to tourism, visitors and residents.

 

HOW CAN YOU BE OF ASSISTANCE?
 

The Swansboro Police Department cannot function effectively without the assistance of concerned, responsible residents.  We are depending on YOU to call and tell us whenever you see suspicious persons or activity.  Call the police immediately about all suspicious activity.  Don't worry about "bothering" the police.  It's part of our job to investigate suspicious matters.  Do not worry about feeling embarrassed if your suspicions are wrong; think instead about what could happen if your suspicions are right and you don't call.  Your call could stop a criminal act, prevent an injury, or possibly even save a life.
